Is it even worth it to apply cold from company websites without networking and getting a referral?

I’ve been working at a mid sized consulting firm for 2 years fwiw.

Always worth shooting for a referral first. DM if you’re still looking

Considering how little firms recruit experienced hires, no.

Depends on skills. Some skills are in enough demand right now a Deloitte sourcer would love to get your resume without having to work for it.

You'll have better luck asking nicely from LinkedIn. Find a recruiter for the firm that specializes in an area of interest for you.
